About Bot Accounts
There has been research conducted by researchers at the University of Adelaide, Australia. Through that research, they found that most Twitter accounts posting information about the Russia-Ukraine war were fake. These accounts are influencing people living in these countries greatly as these accounts are encouraging people to change. This research also found that there were more pro-Ukrainian accounts than pro-Russian accounts. These researchers analyzed 5.2 million posts to see the impact robots have on people’s thinking and emotions. “We can say that between 60 percent and 80 percent of the accounts posting the hashtags we studied during the first two weeks of the fight were bots, as determined using Botometer,” Joshua Watt, one of the researchers, told ThePrint. Watt added: “We cannot conclude where this is happening due to the lack of geographical information about the origin of the accounts. All we can conclude is that bot accounts are influencing more discussions about moving/escape/escape or staying in a place/place.”
The Relationship Between Bots and Human Emotion
The research found that bot accounts trigger human emotions in a way that Pro Russian accounts can cause problems in Ukraine, while Pro Ukraine accounts can cause problems in Russia. So these bot accounts have a huge impact on both sides and have the potential to cause massive disruption. Also, when people go through these accounts, they feel anxious and scared about their future. So these accounts make people feel very anxious. Since the information in these accounts had words like ‘go’, ‘leave’ etc. it is playing a big role in people’s decisions to stay or leave their country.
